Today I learned that my efforts at work for the past year were rated by the company as being less than my efforts over the previous year. This, despite me having worked just as hard, achieved just as much, saved the contract a substantial amount of money for the second year running and received even more praise and recognition from the customer than before. The fact that I had the fourth highest productivity of any engineer in the Region for the year, in spite of my being absent for five months on another contract, is apparently neither here nor there. At least now I can relax and not put myself out at work any more. The pressure's off, which means I have time and energy to look for a job elsewhere Yes, yes, boo hoo. I know. But it still rankles. It's not as if the company is saving any money by not officially recognising my efforts - I haven't received a performance-rated uplift of pay in years. It's purely a sodding political exercise. I hope it's worth the reduction in future productivity from me. :Rage: You may now hand me the tissues for me to dry my eyes :Bored:
Today I was told that my annual performance review was available online, but I have to fire up my ancient windows laptop running IE8 to access the website, and I just can't be arsed.
Organisations are inherently suboptimal. They look sleek from the outside, but within they are just a rat's nest of dysfunction.
here hang on a god dam minute, you (like me)where never off of here leading up to the new year, just because you have been putting in some effort during January and February dont make you employee of the year. lazy loz lazy!. :smile:
Oh, I also noticed today that I have been credited £15 by my credit card provider as a "goodwill gesture". I assume that this is in respect of the complaint I made concerning Balance Transfer Offers. I say assume, as I haven't really heard anything definitive as yet. Hmm. I wonder what else I can profitably complain about?
Got very wet!! Did my usual 120 mile jaunt round the M25/A1M in my leathers!!! Had more water in my pants like I have just swam a river!
I just watched a show where Jamie Oliver said that I shouldn't be afraid to buy things from the 'reduced price' shelf cos I can make a family meal from what I find there. I just hope the wife likes her shoelace, WD40 and cat food soup.
"Any spare change mate?" Said this beggar n Manchester today "No, sorry" I replied. "You must have some change somewhere in that big bag of yours." "No sorry, no change mate. How about a note instead?" "That would be great." He said. So I wrote, "I DON'T HAVE ANY CHANGE" on a small piece of paper and handed it to him.
